In this episode, Adam Strong discusses how to turn competitors into allies. He emphasises the importance of seeing competitors as collaborators rather than threats. By focusing on the synergies and learning opportunities with competitors, businesses can create win-win scenarios. Adam suggests offering services that complement competitors' offerings and testing small collaborative projects. He also highlights the need for clear expectations and boundaries in the relationship.
